Biggest Pot Of The Tournament

We came in to a flop of {10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{8-Spades} when Christian Stricker Kohl checked in the big blind and a player in middle position bet out for 13,000. Kohl re-raised to 34,000, the player in middle position then re-raised again to 74,000. Kohl thought about it for 20 sec then re-raised all in for 287,000 total and got a snap call from his opponent.

Kohl had {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for two pair and his opponent flipped over {q-Clubs}{j-Spades} for the flopped nuts.

The turn however, was a big card. The {8-Diamonds} gave Kohl a full house and left his opponent drawing dead.

Kohl had a whopping 600,000 after the hand and is definitely our chip leader for the moment.
